Stan Greer posted a piece in CNS News that quotes my recent blog about the positive effect of right-to-work laws on disposable income. Greer shows that the seven states with the highest growth in demand for college-educated workers are all right-to-work states: North Dakota, Wyoming, Texas, Utah, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Moreover, all of the five-poorest-performing states and 11 of the 12-poorest-performing states are forced unionism states. These include New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

The Media's Trump/Cuomo Double Standard
In 2014 Andrew Cuomo dissolved
a Moreland Act commission that was investigating corruption in Cuomo's
administration. Neither the New York Times nor MSNBC called for Cuomo's
impeachment. In 2017 Donald Trump made a comment to an FBI director
investigating his presidency. The reverse was true--the media called for
Trump's impeachment. Can we at least agree that there is a double standard
here?

Adam Kissel's Appointment Reflects Brilliantly on the Trump Administration
A friend just forwarded an article in Reason.com about Education Secretary Betsy DeVos's appointment of Adam Kissel to deputy assistant secretary for higher education programs. I worked with Adam on a grant several years ago when he was with the Charles G. Koch Foundation, and he was professional, knowledgeable, and effective. He had previously worked for the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, where he also had done important work. Adam combines a restrained brilliance with integrity and a commitment to civil liberties. President Trump's appointments of Deputy Assistant Secretary Kissel, Secretary DeVos, and regulatory czar Neomi Rao augur well for the course the Trump administration will take.
